Student bus card
A card with the child's photo and a code the driver scans as they get on.
In short
The School Bus Tracker gives every child a printable bus card with their photo and a code. The family has it emailed to them from the parent app, and the driver scans the code with the driver app when the child boards.
How it works
- The family opens their child's Today screen and chooses Bus card
- A printable card with the child's photo and code is emailed to them
- The driver scans the code with the driver app's Scan Ticket screen
Why it helps
A card puts a face to every name on a busy morning, which matters most to a new driver or a relief driver who does not know the children yet.
Questions about student bus card
Can a school print bus cards itself?
The card is emailed to the family from the parent app, who prints it. A school can ask families to do so at the start of term.
